| amblyomma americanum: a potential vector of lyme disease in new jersey. | amblyomma americanum is a likely secondary vector of lyme disease in new jersey. ticks of this species were removed from the site of the characteristic skin lesion known as erythema chronicum migrans on two patients with the disease, and the lyme disease spirochete was isolated from nymphs and adults of this species. that a. americanum is a potential vector is supported by its similarities to ixodes dammini, the known tick vector, in seasonal distribution and host utilization. the extensive rang ... | 1984 | 6710158 |
| effect of host age on the expression of acquired resistance to ticks. | young guinea-pigs (350 g) expressed significantly greater levels of acquired resistance to challenge by larval amblyomma americanum ticks than older guinea-pigs (520-800 g). this finding suggests that younger guinea-pigs are immunologically more responsive to tick infestation than older mature individuals. therefore, host age is an important variable in evaluating acquired resistance to ticks. | 1984 | 6698176 |

| bovine resistance to amblyomma americanum ticks: an acquired immune response characterized by cutaneous basophil infiltrates. | purebred holstein calves acquired resistance to amblyomma americanum adult ticks after 1 infestation and expressed resistance during a challenge infestation 26 days later. tick yields from resistant animals were normal, but mean tick weight and egg-mass weight were reduced significantly (31 and 32%, respectively). cutaneous cellular responses at tick feeding sites in primary (naive) hosts consisted almost exclusively of mononuclear cells, until 24-h post-infestation when granulocytes appeared. a ... | 1984 | 6543047 |
| seasonal pattern of tick load in bunaji cattle in the subhumid zone of nigeria. | the seasonal pattern of tick load on bunaji cattle under traditional management in northern nigeria was observed over 12 months to investigate the possibilities of strategic use of acaricide. ticks were removed 2-3 times weekly by hand from 16 animals, counted and the species determined. tick load was low in the dry season (2-5 ticks per animal per week), increased after the onset of the first scattered rains, reached a peak (40 ticks per animal per week) 1 month after the beginning of the heavy ... | 1984 | 6541842 |
| studies on ticks of veterinary importance in nigeria. xi. observations on the biology of ticks detached from the red-flanked duiker (cephamophys rufulatus) and parasites encountered in their blood. | some aspects of the biology of amblyomma variegatum and boophilus decorolatus detached from red-flanked duikers were studied. smears were also made from the blood of the duikers and examined for the presence of parasites. anaplasma marginale was the only blood parasite found in the blood smears. compared with ticks detached from cattle, duiker ticks produced a greater number of eggs. the lengths and breadths of eggs produced by duiker ticks were greater than those of cattle ticks and unlike a. v ... | 1984 | 6538723 |

| records of the bont tick, amblyomma hebraeum, from the angulate tortoise, chersina angulata, and the leopard tortoise, geochelone pardalis. | a. hebraeum nymphae were found on 4 angulate tortoises and 13 leopard tortoises in the addo elephant national park, eastern cape province. adults of this species were collected for the 1st time from a leopard tortoise in the mkuze game reserve, natal. the significance of this finding, in relation to the normal host preferences of this tick, is briefly discussed. | 1984 | 6533508 |
| ticks on white-tailed deer fawns from southern illinois. | seventy-six white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus (zimmermann] fawns captured on crab orchard national wildlife refuge in southern illinois during june-july 1980-1983 were aged and examined for ticks. the prevalence of ticks (amblyomma americanum (linnaeus, 1758) and dermacentor variabilis (say, 1821] was 80%; intensity of infestation ranged from one to 123 ticks per fawn, averaging 21.6. tick intensity correlated poorly with age suggesting that there were other, more important determinants ... | 1984 | 6530716 |
| studies on ticks of veterinary importance in nigeria xvii. resistance of rabbits to infestation with amblyomma variegatum and boophilus decoloratus (acari: ixodidae). | rabbits exposed to larvae, nymphs and adults of amblyomma variegatum acquired resistance to the infestation with adults of this tick. the degree of acquired resistance was lowest in the rabbits exposed once previously to larvae and highest in those exposed twice previously to adults. rabbits also acquired resistance after primary infestation with boophilus decoloratus; their resistance became very high during the thrice-repeated feeding. new terms are introduced for the quantification of the deg ... | 1984 | 6510837 |
| characterization of tick antigens inducing host immune resistance. i. immunization of guinea pigs with amblyomma americanum-derived salivary gland extracts and identification of an important salivary gland protein antigen with guinea pig anti-tick antibodies. | guinea pigs immunized by subcutaneous injection of an emulsion of incomplete freund's adjuvant (ifa) containing tick salivary gland extract antigens (sga) from partially fed female ticks expressed a significant level of tick rejection when challenged 17 days later. this level of tick rejection was similar to animals actively sensitized by tick feeding and challenged at the same time. sga emulsified with complete freund's adjuvant (cfa) or administered with saline was ineffective. however, ticks ... | 1984 | 6491289 |
| theileria mutans infection in nigerian cattle. | in a 12 year survey in the former northern provinces of nigeria antibodies to theileria mutans were found to have a prevalence rate of 32.6 to 85%. the indirect fluorescent antibody test was found to be more efficient than thin blood smear examination in detecting cattle exposed to t. mutans. the high prevalence of t. mutans infection was attributed to the high prevalence of amblyomma species in the area under study. | 1984 | 6435298 |
| isolation and transmission of theileria mutans (chisamba) in zambia. | theileria mutans (chisamba) was isolated from a steer at chisamba, central province, zambia by inoculation of blood into a susceptible unsplenectomised calf. the parasite was then transmitted on three occasions by nymphs and once by adult amblyomma variegatum ticks. macroschizonts, typical for t mutans, were detected in two calves for short periods. the parasite caused varying degrees of anaemia in all experimental calves, whose sera showed high antibody titres to t mutans in the indirect fluore ... | 1984 | 6424195 |

| evidence for multiple receptors mediating fluid secretion in salivary glands of ticks. | using isolated salivary glands of the ixodid tick amblyomma hebraeum koch, we tested the effectiveness of butaclamol and sulpiride in blocking fluid secretion stimulated by a number of agonists. (+)-butaclamol was a potent inhibitor of dopamine, n-methyldopamine and noradrenaline (ki congruent to 30-60 nm), but was less effective on ergometrine (ki congruent to 310 nm). tranylcypromine-stimulated fluid secretion in the absence and presence of (+)-butaclamol and (+/-)-sulpiride suggested that tra ... | 1983 | 6188618 |
| adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate in salivary glands of unfed and feeding female lone star ticks, amblyomma americanum (l.). | basal levels of camp in salivary glands of female lone star ticks were found to be about 5 pmoles/mg protein during all stages of feeding. glands stimulated with 10(-5)m dopamine and 10(-5)m dopamine plus theophylline exhibited significant increases in camp/mg protein. after stimulation by 10(-5)m dopamine was removed, camp decreased faster in glands from slowly feeding ticks (less than 200 mg) than in glands of rapidly feeding ticks (greater than 200 mg). | 1984 | 6149877 |

| prevalence of ectoparasites of small ruminants in nsukka, nigeria. | over a period of one year (january 1983 to december 1983), an investigation was mounted to determine common ectoparasitic infestation of small ruminants in selected farms in nsukka, nigeria. the species identified in goats included ctenocephalides canis, boophilius decolouratus and amblyomma variegatum lides while those recovered from parasitized sheep were ctenocephalides canis and damalinia ovis. out of a total of 148 sheep and goats examined for ectoparasites, 68 (45.95%) were infested. a fur ... | 1985 | 3836218 |
| tick infestation in soldiers who were bivouacked in the perth region. | we report observations on infestations with the tick, amblyomma triguttatum, in soldiers who were bivouacked in two areas near perth; 34% of 175 persons were infested with varying stages of the ectoparasite. most persons were infested with only one tick but some troops had multiple infestations. local skin reactions to tick-bites were frequent; they usually developed 24-48 h after removal of the tick and may indicate delayed hypersensitivity reactions. a small number of persons developed seconda ... | 1987 | 3821621 |

| metabolism of [3h]ecdysone by isolated tissues of the female ixodid tick amblyomma hebraeum (ixodoidea; ixodidae). | malpighian tubules, gut, ovaries and carcasses of the adult female tick amblyomma hebraeum were incubated in vitro in the presence of 2 microm [3h]ecdysone. organs and media were separately extracted after 6, 24 and 48 h incubations and the patterns of ecdysone metabolites were analyzed by hplc. esterase-susceptible apolar metabolites similar to the ap2 already described in the soft tick ornithodoros moubata and thus presumably corresponding to the same conjugates (c-22 esters with fatty acids) ... | 1986 | 3758475 |
| differentiation between three species of amblyomma ticks (acari: ixodidae) by analysis of cuticular hydrocarbons. | cuticular lipids were extracted from three species of amblyomma ticks in hexane: dichloromethane and analysed by gas-liquid chromatography using both packed and capillary columns. unlike many of the reported insect hydrocarbons, those of the amblyomma ticks consisted mostly of branched paraffins and olefins and all three species of ticks are well differentiated on the basis of numbers and carbon-chain lengths of the hydrocarbons. amblyomma maculatum has more olefins and a. cajennense has more pa ... | 1986 | 3753063 |
| electrophoretically detectable protein variation in natural populations of the lone star tick, amblyomma americanum (acari: ixodidae). | nine populations of amblyomma americanum (l.) were examined electrophoretically for variation of 21 enzymes. only three enzymes were not polymorphic and the average heterozygosity per individual (h) for the species was 0.085 with a range of 0.077 to 0.110, comparing well with values in other arthropods. the average nei identity value for pairwise comparisons among the nine populations was high, 0.994 +/- 0.004 (i +/- sd). these high identity values and the absence of geographic structuring of th ... | 1986 | 3744877 |
